Magmatic crystallization temperatures, for example, will give different minerals-pairs certain fractionations (that are dependent on the crystallization temperature) (e.g. Friedman O'Neil, 1977). So, there is a certain expected range of oxygen isotope compositions in bulk samples, depending on how much of each mineral is in your bulk sample. Once metamorphism sets in, this inter-mineral fractionation decreases more and more - as temperature goes up. So, you'd expect the range of oxygen isotope values to shrink/collapse in their range as metamorphism increases. The same way you would expect the chemical characteristics, e.g., Fe-content, to become more homogeneous, to have a smaller range, with increasing degree of metamorphism. O-isotope values per se will not tell you the metamorphic grade, but the range of individual analyses of a given sample will be an indicator of the degree of metamorphism. The oxygen isotope values of UOCs depends on how you have selected you sample. As Jeff said, oxygen heterogeneity in these objects bulk samplests will be a function of sample size, as fine matrix grains equilibrate much more quickly than coarse ones. The proportion of chondrule to coarse to fine matrix is important Š.. The best way to approach this is to do a detailed component/mineral-separation of the UOCs, analyze the chondrules vs. the matrix, analyze the olivines and the pyroxenes, etc. Comparing olivine O-isotopes, e.g., is much more useful that comparing bulk O-isotope values.

If you analyze small aliquants of sample, most UOCs will be heterogeneous. If, on the other hand, we were talking about the O isotope heterogeneity of individual olivine grains, akin to how we measure FeO in olivine, you might be able to devise a metamorphic parameter. But so far, I'm not aware of anybody devising a way to use O isotopes to measure metamorphic grade. The meaning of type 3.00: you said, A subtype of 3.00 means that the material has survived unchanged by heat (radioactive decay, pressure, impact/shock, etc.) or aqueous alteration since its formation. This is incorrect. It means the material is unaffected by thermal metamorphism. Semarkona is shock stage S2, so it has been seen elevated pressures due to impacts on the parent body. It also shows abundant evidence for light aqueous alteration. You can think of all these things as independent processes. Semarkona saw little heat, but got a little shocked and a little bit wet. Many CM chondrites saw little heat, but a lot of water. I would call these CMs type 3.00 as well, but traditional usage has coined another term for really wet chondrites, namely type 2. Oh well. Metamorphically, they are type 3.00. Some chondrites saw little shock and a lot of thermal metamorphism. Anyway, all type 3.00 means is that the object saw little prolonged secondary heating. The parent body may have been too small to differentiate, or it may have formed too late to take advantage of heat sources like Al-26 (and there may be other possibilities). We are always looking for material that escaped processing on asteroids to learn about the origin of the solar system. Type 3.00 chondrites are good for doing such studies. CAIs are also important for early solar system studies, and we're fortunate that the meteorites richest in CAIs tend to be low petrologic types that escaped heating on asteroids as well; many carbonaceous chondrites are like this. I hope this is a start at answering your questions.

[meteorite-list] Met Bulletin Update - Ardón
Hi Bulletin Watchers, One new fall has been approved. It is an L6 fall from Spain in 1931. Link - http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=59522 - Ardón42°26.18'N, 5°33.63'W Castilla y Leon, Spain Fell: 9 July 1931 Classification: Ordinary chondrite (L6) History: Rosa González Pérez, who was 11 years old at the time, witnessed this meteorite falling in front of her, just after seeing a bolide in the sky. In a recent telling of the event, she reported that she immediately collected the specimen from the ground having the feeling that the meteorite was still hot. She kept the specimen in a box, where it has been preserved for 80 years. She kept the meteorite as a family secret until she explained the event to her nephew and niece. She still knows the exact recovery location, as the meteorite fell in a known Ardón street. No other specimens are known. Physical characteristics: About 90% of the 5.48 g specimen is covered by a fresh fusion crust. Once cut, the metal grains are intact and barely oxidized by terrestrial alteration. The appearance of the thin sections also supports not being exposed to significant terrestrial weathering. Petrography (M. Weyrauch, A. Bischoff, IfP; J.M. Trigo-Rodríguez, CSIC-IEEC; J. Llorca, UPC): Contains minor chromite and ilmenite. The meteorite is fresh, and moderately shocked with shock veins. Geochemistry: Olivine, Fa23.7±0.4; range Fa23.1-24.4, n=22. Low Ca pyroxene Fs20.4±0.2Wo1.5±0.2, range Fs20.0-20.7Wo1.1-2.0, n=19. Mean plagioclase: An10.3±0.5Ab84.3±1.2; range: An9.2-11.5Ab81.8-86.3, n=24.

Re: [meteorite-list] Detection and rapid recovery of the Sutter's Mill meteorite fall as a model for future recoveries worldwide
Hello Shawn and all! After reading this paper, I pulled some data to share as it was not mentioned in the paper. I just pulled some info I personally work with. Just in the SouthWest with just 4 of the stable Allsky Cameras (Flagstaff, Parker, Riverside, Yucca Valley) logged 34,560 hours of allsky video surveillance in the last year and have been actively involved in the research of every possible fall in the Southwest since turn up as well as other research I will not mention here. It is without any doubt the most consistent data set there is as well as the most reliable set we have. With the help of Rob Matson and Pat Branch, we can very much point to a fall location (if there is a fall) good enough to put boots on the ground. I am amazed! Our Government and NASA does not feel the need fund this.and it's very much a drop in the bucket. Secondly, I am amazed (and miffed) that the Allsky cams, at the front of the line for research, were not mentioned in this article. These should be and ARE part of any future model of meteorite recovery. If not, then there are a lot of guys and gals across this country spinning their wheels, wasting countless hours and money, making them work! Cheers!

The exact location of the meteorite fall was determined within hours of the event using a combination of eyewitness reports, weather radar imagery, and seismometry data. Recovery of the first meteorites occurred within 2 days and continued for months afterward. The recovery effort included local citizens, scientists, and meteorite hunters, and featured coordination efforts by local scientific institutions. Scientific analysis of the collected meteorites revealed characteristics that were available for study only because the rapid collection of samples had minimized terrestrial contamination/alteration. This combination of factors—rapid and accurate location of the event, participation in the meteorite search by the public, and coordinated scientific investigation of recovered samples—is a model that was widely beneficial and should be emulated in future meteorite falls. The tools necessary to recreate the Sutter's Mill recovery are available, but are currently underutilized in much of the world. Weather radar networks, scientific institutions with interest in meteoritics, and the interested public are available globally. Therefore, it is possible to repeat the Sutter's Mill recovery model for future meteorite falls around the world, each for relatively little cost with a dedicated researcher. Doing so will significantly increase the number of fresh meteorite falls available for study, provide meteorite material that can serve as the nuclei of new meteorite collections, and will improve the public visibility of meteoritics research. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10./maps.12249/abstract;jsessionid=067D0DC3577A4F229C4F41FFC1BD6224.f03t03 __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list - No virus found in this message.

[meteorite-list] NASA Releases First Interactive Mosaic of Lunar North Pole
March 18, 2014 NASA Releases First Interactive Mosaic of Lunar North Pole Scientists, using cameras aboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), have created the largest high resolution mosaic of our moon's north polar region. The six-and-a-half feet (two-meters)-per-pixel images cover an area equal to more than one-quarter of the United States. Web viewers can zoom in and out, and pan around an area. Constructed from 10,581 pictures, the mosaic provides enough detail to see textures and subtle shading of the lunar terrain. Consistent lighting throughout the images makes it easy to compare different regions. This unique image is a tremendous resource for scientists and the public alike, said John Keller, LRO project scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. It's the latest example of the exciting insights and data products LRO has been providing for nearly five years. The images making up the mosaic were taken by the two LRO Narrow Angle Cameras, which are part of the instrument suite known as the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC). The cameras can record a tremendous dynamic range of lit and shadowed areas. Creation of this giant mosaic took four years and a huge team effort across the LRO project, said Mark Robinson, principal investigator for the LROC at Arizona State University in Tempe. We now have a nearly uniform map to unravel key science questions and find the best landing spots for future exploration. The entire image measures 931,070 pixels square - nearly 867 billion pixels total. A complete printout at 300 dots per inch - considered crisp resolution for printed publications - would require a square sheet of paper wider than a professional U.S. football field and almost as long. If the complete mosaic were processed as a single file, it would require approximately 3.3 terabytes of storage space. Instead, the processed mosaic was divided into millions of small, compressed files, making it manageable for users to view and navigate around the image using a web browser. LRO entered lunar orbit in June 2009 equipped with seven instrument suites to map the surface, probe the radiation environment, investigate water and key mineral resources, and gather geological clues about the moon's evolution. Researchers used additional information about the moon's topography from LRO's Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter, as well as gravity information from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission, to assemble the mosaic. Launched in September 2011, the GRAIL mission, employing twin spacecraft named Ebb and Flow, generated a gravity field map of the moon -- the highest resolution gravity field map of any celestial body. LRO is managed by Goddard for the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) at NASA Headquarters in Washington. LROC was designed and built by Malin Space Science Systems and is operated by the University of Arizona. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., managed the GRAIL mission for SMD.

[meteorite-list] NASA Orbiter Finds New Gully Channel on Mars (MRO)
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-086 NASA Orbiter Finds New Gully Channel on Mars Jet Propulsion Laboratory March 19, 2014 A comparison of images taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in November 2010 and May 2013 reveal the formation of a new gully channel on a crater-wall slope in the southern highlands of Mars. These before-and-after images are available online at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA17958 . Gully or ravine landforms are common on Mars, particularly in the southern highlands. This pair of images shows that material flowing down from an alcove at the head of a gully broke out of an older route and eroded a new channel. The dates of the images are more than a full Martian year apart, so the observations did not pin down the Martian season of the activity at this site. Before-and-after HiRISE pairs of similar activity at other sites demonstrate that this type of activity generally occurs in winter, at temperatures so cold that carbon dioxide, rather than water, is likely to play the key role. HiRISE is operated by the University of Arizona, Tucson. The instrument was built by Ball Aerospace Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project is managed for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

That alone is scary. Anyway, the meteorite sample that was for sale was pictured. What I noticed was how well I could see the finger prints, when he was holding the sample. I went through his listings and determined that if I wanted to, I could obtain a full set if his fingerprints. This I thought was concerning enough to bring to all on the list. If one was inclined to fake the Identification of someone, it would be nice to have a set of fingerprints. Easy to prevent, wear gloves.

Too late! The NSA has collected your fingerprints and they are now being planted on a shipment of Iranian yellowcake uranium to frame you on federal charges.
